Discovery Park - South Meadow Blackberry Purge07/30/2024

Activities

Even though we thought we got every root last year, blackberry has a way of hiding until it warms up. But now they are showing themselves and trying to gain a foothold again. We may spread mulch wherever we disturb the soil to make sure that weed seeds don't have a chance to sprout.

We will likely have a chance to water some of the newly installed plants to make sure they make it through their first stressful summer.

All ages OK

12 out of 15 participants registered.

What to Bring

Work gloves (I have some loaner gloves if you don't have your own), boots, long pants, weather appropriate clothes that you don't mind getting dirty and something to stay hydrated. We'll be taking a water break halfway through the event.
